Answer 2

Answer:

168rs

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept= Profit and Loss

Given= Profit, Profit% , Loss%

To find= Selling Price

Explanation= Veronica sold the table initially at loss of 20% which means she sold the table at 80% of the cost price. If she would have sold it for 40rs more than cost price then she would have gained 5% which is 105% of original cost price.

Let the cost price be x

so, 80% of x + 40rs = 105% of x

=> .80x + 40rs = 1.05x

=> .25x=40

=> x= 40*100/25= 160rs

Therefore Cost price is 160rs

Selling Price when Profit is 5% is

=> 105% of CP

=>105/100 *160

=> 1.05*160= 168rs.
